何 紀 嵐 Eric Ho (He Jilan)

Eric Ho is a contemporary artist whose work embodies a dynamic synthesis of Eastern philosophy and Western expression. Born in Hong Kong and deeply influenced by his father, the renowned Lingnan School painter He Baili, Eric’s artistic journey is a lifelong exploration of cultural duality.

His formal training spans continents and disciplines. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Specialized Honours) from York University in Canada, he returned to Hong Kong to complete a Master’s in Design Management from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. This unique fusion of fine art practice and strategic design thinking continues to inform his creative approach.

Eric’s artistry is deliberately medium-agnostic, moving fluidly between oil, watercolour, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and the foundational Chinese arts of ink painting and calligraphy. His core practice, however, focuses on reinterpreting traditional Chinese ink painting through a contemporary lens. He masterfully employs its techniques to visualize philosophical concepts like Yin and Yang, creating works that are at once timeless and modern.

This distinctive voice has garnered significant international recognition. Eric’s paintings are sought after by collectors worldwide and have been featured in prestigious fine art auctions, including Christie’s, Ravenel International Art Group, and Poly Auction.

Beyond his studio practice, Eric is an active catalyst within the art community. With over two decades of experience in corporate marketing, design, and branding, he has founded several innovative art initiatives, including Gallery Article, Ohoconcept Fine Art, Ink Occasions, and the Art Bliss Coalition. Through these platforms, he has curated and organized numerous exhibitions, fostering dialogue and showcasing diverse artistic talents from Hong Kong and across the globe.

At its heart, Eric Ho’s work is a personal meditation on balance—between heritage and innovation, contemplation and expression, the enduring brushstroke and the modern moment.

何紀嵐生於香港，成長在藝術之家，受其父何百里先生薰陶，藝術觸覺敏鋭。1997 年獲加拿大安大略省約克大學純藝術榮譽學士；1998 年獲多倫多辛力加學院設計文憑及加拿大認可註冊設計師。作品以極簡主義演繹東方哲理，簡潔利落。2000 年回港，於2003 年獲香港理工大學設計管理碩士，並積極參與藝術創作。他的畫作充滿水墨元素，注入黑白主調，襯托出虛與實，有與無之陰陽相對而相生的存在關係，反映生活進退動靜的節奏。近年來所創《遊絲墨舞》《絲路行中》《板塊》《飛絮》《香港格式》和《深黑印象》 水墨系列，特顯剛柔對比，透視水墨全新動感。

事實上, 何紀嵐的獨特繪畫風格吸引了很多藝術愛好者的目光, 他的畫作經常出現在國際藝術拍賣會上, 如佳士得, 羅芙奧藝術集團和保利拍賣等, 因而吸引了世界各地的藝術收藏者的購藏，故其作品多為私人訂藏。

何紀嵐一直活耀於香港藝術圈，在企業營銷、設計以及品牌形象方面擁有超過20多年的經驗。多年來為自己和世界各地許多藝術家組織了不同類型的展覽。繼「雅品畫廊」後，設「思無為軒」「水墨弄堂」和「遊藝堂」藝術平台積極推展水墨藝術。現為海外中國美術家協會理事，及香港美協會員。
